Wednesday Weekly Shopping: Smallest total of the year!

I invite you to link up to your best grocery deals below, to inspire others to save more!

I don't mean to brag, but I spent less this week on groceries than I have all year long!

But that's because I have a sick kid at home, so I couldn't get out today to hit the Walgreens 4 day sale with my Friends and Family discount coupon. Or Winn-Dixie, or Publix. (Hopefully I'll get out to Walgreens tonight, so that shopping will be included in next week's report.)

I did get to CVS and Walgreens on the Saturday after Black Friday, but didn't have a lot of successes there due to empty shelves. Note to self: next year, go Thanksgiving morning as soon as the stores open!

I also did get to ALDI, where I found loaves of bread for a quarter and a few other unadvertised bargains. And I went to Winn-Dixie on Saturday for their one-day sale and got cheap cheese and toilet paper.

Overall, I spent $34.87 for items worth $72.63, or a 52% savings. (But don't compare percentages!)

See all my shopping here.

We have been dealing with sickness all week (and still am), it is not fun.
